Python's extensible library gives us rich access to numerous computing resources. This makes Python programs particularly strong at integrating components to create sophisticated composite processing.
In the Using argparse to get command line input, Using cmd for creating command-line applications, and Using the OS environment settings recipes in Chapter 5, User Inputs and Outputs, specific techniques for creating top-level (main) application scripts were shown. In Chapter 8, Input/Output, Physical Format, Logical Layout, we looked at file-system input and output. In Chapter 10, Web Services, we looked at creating servers, which are main applications that receive requests from clients.
All of these examples show some aspects of application programming in Python. There are some additional techniques that are helpful:
- Processing configuration from files....
